help your local public media station - please read - get involved - do it now.

Soon, Congress will take a critical vote on whether or not to eliminate ALL federal support for public media.

Federal funding helps PBS stations like WFYI, and others across the country, to provide educational programs free from commercial interference. Programs that expand children’s minds, documentaries that open up new worlds, trusted and unbiased news reporting, and regular forays into the worlds of art, music, theater, and dance.

Some say there is no longer a need for federal support of public broadcasting. WFYI believes that it’s a very worthy investment of federal dollars.

WFYI stands to lose almost $1.3 million if the bills pass…

WFYI has already cut $1 million from their annual operating budget in the last 2 years, made drastic cuts in production and personnel, and has been trying to do more with MUCH less.
You can choose to support public broadcasting individually as a citizen. Thats your choice. You can also contact your elected Congressional representative:
We hope you will call your Members of Congress. Contact their offices by calling , email , or writing a letter
Tell them what you think of public broadcasting and the proposed cuts. Congress could take action on these cuts in the next few days, so please act now.
You can also show your support by visiting 170millionamericans.org
Sign the petition, receive updates about the voting, and since the future of WFYI and public broadcasting is at stake, it is important that your elected representatives hear directly from YOU as soon as you can contact them.
Ultimately, the decision rests with you.
